Yeah I was one of those guys for awhile and it definitely made for long days and either horrible sunburn or numb fingers depending on the weather that weekend

Today they poured the floor for the tunnel extension to the retaining wall by The Jack. Soon we'll see the tunnel finished.

In the Chizik era, you could walk in 5 minutes before kickoff and find a nice spot in the first few rows of the upper deck. Saw Colt McCoy throw a TD on Texas' first play on their way to a 56-3 win. Good times.
Sounds like wonderful times! I was there for Rhoads last year and the start of Campbells career. I honestly think getting rid of Smoke on the Water as the walkout song was enough to get more fans in the stadium.
Seems like no one has figured out there may be an entrance to the corners from the concourse. Maybe they plan to catapult kids over the wall to get them in.
Is that the new ceiling piece of the west end of the tunnel on the ground between the concourse and the tunnel? It looks to be the right size.

I’ve noticed they like to pump concrete for that/those retaining wall(s) on Fridays, presumably so it has the weekend to harden. Any chance they throw up the last forms tomorrow?Today they poured the floor for the tunnel extension to the retaining wall by The Jack. Soon we'll see the tunnel finished.

Who zoomed the camera? Briefly the camera moved back to the full view but again all we can see is a limited view of the wire mesh on the new wall of the tunnel extension.
Five minutes after posting this, we're back to a full-view. But now it's back to the zoom. Please leave it at full view.

Yep. I like the additional detail I can see on my phone, but it’s missing the action at the east tunnel mouth.Who zoomed the camera? Briefly the camera moved back to the full view but again all we can see a limited view of the wire mesh on the new wall of the tunnel extension.

That is a really zoomed-in camera view. Maybe zoomed in to not show some things and/or zoomed to focus on some walkway construction?
I wish they could at least move the camera down a tad so we can watch the tunnel being worked on.
I wish they would turn the camera around 130 degrees to the left so we could watch the practice field...
They just did that, and then moved it back! Someone is likely reading these posts who has camera control.
Does anyone know if the tunnel extension (towards the new retaining wall) will be eventually covered with dirt and grass and mirror the east hillside? Or, will they leave portion of the tunnel open?

I'm assuming they won't have an open trench for children to fall into on the hillside.
They could fence it off like they did for the opening of the tunnel (on the west side of the hill). I would think they would cover it, however, I haven't seen anything regarding this for sure
Based on the height of the rebar they are installing now compared to the height of the current forms already in place, I’m guessing it’ll be open with a fence like the previous tunnel.
